How to learn online - AbilityNet webinar slides via SlideShare

Use free online learning opportunities to stay sharp and keep motivated! There are all sorts of free online learning opportunities available now to anyone who is feeling socially isolated or wants to develop their skills while they're on furlough.

Some will help build professional skills, others are for pure fun or personal development.

We explored options for learning more about digital skills with LearnMyWay, and also how to develop your skills if you're finding yourself supporting others with technology during COVID-19.

Online libraries can also be an excellent source of support for people who are learning or want access to ebooks, and books - you can sign-up online. 

Short and longer online learning courses are also available from a range of websites.
